It's wild the degree that people equate the word "invest" and "investment" with "good smartbrain money person good thing to do" and not "something that requires a lot(monitary or not) up front, involves risk that may or may not pay off, and derives value(monetary or not) over time"

I've never seen someone describe themselves as "politically homeless" who's solution to homelessness isn't "kill the homeless". Perhaps they should think about that a bit more before they yap more.
Saying "nature is pretty/able to be appreciated 'as nature '" is neither a non utilitarian or non anthro centric take.
Driver PSA: Not stopping in time when I am carrying my child in a crosswalk, then throwing up your hands in mock apology for a second before craning your neck to look at oncoming cars *while I'm in front of you* does not make me think you learned a lesson. In Woke 3.0 your car goes into the ocean.
Now that we're in Woke 3.0, what's your dream transportation policy or idea? Sure, ban cars, but what would you like to see in your fantasy version of events? There are no wrong answers, only good and absolutely outstanding answers. Go for it.

I'm going to be honest, there is something weird about people being precious/gatekeepy about the term ai as if we havn't been using it to mean things as simple and stupid as "computer make goomba walk left until it hits a wall, then turn around and walk right" for decades.
English Common Law: "99 years is basically forever. Nothing can be longer then 99 years" Us copyright law: "for a limited duration of longer then forever"
I get some people get upset about companies like waymo sometimes getting increased scrutiny when they behave like assholes(or especially moreso, when safe in ways that frustrate road ragers), but it's wild when you start with that and your conclusion is "asshole behavior is cool and good actually"
Ain't ever gonna catch my ass paying for TSSA premium or KKKustoms and border protection+.
"may I see your boarding pass" Oh so we're gatekeeping flying now.
It's wild how you can be walking down some street in Europe and it Will just be absolutely packed with people and some fucking dickhead will be like "excuse me, make way for king dickhead in a car. I absolutely must drive through this packed pedestrian plaza"
"what if we had a roundabout but it was bullshit" England is out there inventing some nonsense
Claims to be a leftist, doesn't drive/bike/walk on the left side of the road/sidewalk
Stupid thought in my brain: "what if I stole the laminated airbusA330-200 safety information card/booklet"
